i heard dark star, on the common man progrum, refer to the Twins two best starting pitchers as “innings eaters.” wanna guess who he is referring to? yep Pavano and…………..Marquis.

He is kind of an insider, with TK and all. It should be interesting to see how the narrative changes with that crew once Marquis is walking his usual 6-8 batters per outing.

I can see putting Hendriks above Gibson given the uncertainty about his future, but I think Gibson has a clearly higher prospect ceiling.

I’d actually put Gibson higher. Recovery rates are just too high now days. It would be nice to have him now, but you’ll still get 6 hopefully active, cost controlled years (unlike Liriano, who got hurt while in the majors, so he earned the service time for the recover).

Gibson as the #7 prospect and he’s at least a year plus from pitching at any level. Really?

Aaron – Great job as always on the “prospects” list…it looks like our minors are a mess. Of course the next 5 will have Sano and Rosario on the list – might be worth a trip to Beloit this summer!

I certainly can’t, the “expert” did..I think he’s a no brainer HOFer.

Jones is a HOF’er. He’s a former MVP, has won championships, has high numbers in every measurable category, Average, HR’s, OBP, SLG, OPS, etc….Plus he is largely seen as a clean player in a steriod era. I’m not sure how you can make an argument he’s not a HOF’er.

John Bonnes was on KFAN today and said Chipper Jones should not be a Hall of Famer. I thought he was pretty much a slam dunk..what say yee?
